each branch
a beam of light
forsythia on a cloudy day
Resplendent
Cardinal
sighting you
brings delight
as deep as your color
Nature’s Nuptial
garden wedding
in June
bridal veil blooms
Ice Queen
taciturn
winter wore
a crown of bittersweet
Afternoon Sun
in the brevity
of winter’s landscape
truth shines
Congregation
like dandelion wishes
snow flies and floats
congregating in expectation
Winter’s Recompense
web of life
pulse of spring
renewal’s divining
Exultation
chosen she wears
the light of white
teaching lessons in joy
Sun Flower
forsythia’s petal rays
in sunburst bloom
warm the landscape
Belonging
oh to be a bud in the cluster
a part of a tribe
together in the center of life’s circle.
